They were classed as a "light" unit. Their loyalty was rated as "Fanatical".<ref name="FSW(SB)p137"/> In what may be an inaccuracy or outright error, they are also marked as a unit comprised of former [[SLDF]] soldiers.<ref name="FSW(SB)p137"/> In [[2802]], the [[2nd Kearny Highlanders]] fought a House Kurita-aligned mercenary unit identified as "Daemian's Destroyers" on [[Lincoln]]. It was noted that the Destroyers repeatedly asked to be allowed to surrender, but their request was denied by the Highlanders.<ref name=HL82/> (Contradictory wording leaves it unclear which side as attacking or defending, or who held Lincoln at the time, but other references to Lincoln seem to establish that it was held by House Liao at the time, who repulsed several attacks on Lincoln by House Kurita in 2802 and [[2803]].) ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 23rd Amaris Dragoons''' |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of Daemien's Destroyers''' |- |} ==Tactics== Unknown. ==Composition History== ===(23rd Amaris Dragoons)=== ====2751==== The Dragoons had a least one company of [[Ignis]] Support Tanks.<ref name="TRO:3075p292+">''Technical Readout: 3075'', pp. 292-293, "Ignis Infantry Support Tank"</ref> ===Daemien's Destroyers=== ====2768==== * 1 [[Regiment]]<ref name="FSW(SB)p35"/> === 2786 - 2821=== '''Daemien's Destroyers''' (Regiment/Regular/Fanatical)<ref name= FSSp137>''First Succession War'', p. 137</ref> : Note: At this point in time the light-weight unit was stationed on [[Kaesong]].
